PROJECT the Social Sciences, and the Humanities and Arts, Leading to Bachelor’S, Master’S and Doctoral Degrees

ABOUT WPI

Founded in 1865 in Worcester, Mass., WPI is one of the nation’s first engineering and technology universities. Its 14 academic departments offer more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science, engineering, technology, business, PROJECT the social sciences, and the humanities and arts, leading to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. WPI’s talented faculty work with students on interdisciplinary research that seeks solutions to important and socially relevant problems in fields as diverse PRESENTATION as the life sciences and bioengineering, energy, information security, materials processing, and robotics. Students also have the opportunity to make a difference to communities and organizations around the world through the university’s innovative Global DAYApril 21, 2016 Projects Program. There are more than 45 WPI project centers throughout the Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Project Sponsors include...

It provides students the opportunity to gain professional skills, a talent for teamwork, and the confidence to dive right in. Together with our corporate partners, we are making progress one project at a time. Dow Chemical Nemucore United Technologies EMC Corporation New England Aquarium University of Massachusetts Medical School WPI welcomes sponsorship for our Major Qualifying Projects (MQP). If you are interested in discussing a possible Endicia NVIDIA Unum Group sponsorship opportunity, contact Sharon Deffely, Executive Director of Academic and Corporate Engagement, at FLEXcon Philips Healthcare West Boylston Municipal Light Plant 508-831-5635 or [email protected]. GE Healthcare Life Sciences Primetals Technologies Worcester Art Museum General Electric Protonex Yankee Scientific Following are some general guidelines for project sponsorship: Gillette Company QueBIT • A project cannot be “mission critical” or on a “critical path.” IPG Photonics Corporation Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company • The best types of projects support or enhance current activities. • Most MQPs consist of a team of students (2-4) and a faculty advisor, although in some cases—depending on the scope of the project and the disciplines of the student team—there may be additional advisors.

More information about sponsoring a project: wpi.edu/+engage “MilliporeSigma has sponsored a number of Major Qualifying Projects (MQPs) over the past several years. We have been consistently impressed with the technical depth, collaborative approach and professionalism demonstrated by WPI students in the completion of these projects.” To contact a specific academic department, refer to the list below.

Once a year, WPI students take time out from their studies to present to their faculty advisors and sponsors the results of their Major Qualifying Projects, or MQPs (one of two significant academic projects all WPI students complete). The MQP is a professional-level design or research experience generally completed in teams and often sponsored by corporations or other external organizations. The projects mirror the kinds of professional work students will tackle in their careers.

The project experience prepares students to lead team efforts, to communicate professionally, to meet deadlines and exceed expectations, to deal with ambiguity and unexpected difficulties, and to consider not just the technical, but the ethical and social dimensions of their work. The projects must be thoroughly documented in written reports, and virtually all teams make oral presentations of their results. These are the presentations you will see today.

Often MQPs lead to publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentations at regional and national conferences, and patents. Some become the foundations for entrepreneurial ventures. Others become useful innovations and products for their corporate sponsors. But no matter what becomes of an MQP, the chances are it has already served as an effective capstone to a WPI education and a profound steppingstone to a successful and rewarding career and life.
